New Flyer to Use!

Morning folks!

Thank you for all the hard work you're all putting into this for us! It's going to be great!

We're putting an advert in the local paper this week 'calling all MINI owners' and i've attached it for you to use. Might be better than the last one i posted as this is one sided and a bit more in your face.

Michelle

Flash 2 times if your in

Spoke to Alison this morning who said that there was a time if you saw an oncomming Mini, as a mark of friendship you would flash, keeping an eye on side roads so other car and cyclists dont think your allowing them to pull out .

So if your out and about why not flash them twice to say "I'm in for the Red Nose Day Convoy"

What do you think or ?????

Latest Update!

Thought you might just like to know that we now have 143 MINIs registered!

We've had a big surge today which is brilliant!

We're getting there!

Perhaps we could rattle a bucket on this event as well, or would that be stepping on toes for another charity?

i didn't realise there were so many on gadbrook, only ever seen yours and a couple of red coopers / ones.

i reckon there's gonna be bloody loads of us at this run, it's going to be some sight seeing over 200 Mini's in convoy!!

Have you guys managed to get any coverage on local or national radio or TV yet?

Cos I've just e-mailed Rock FM, Galaxy 102 and Key 103 - dunno if it'll get on cos I suppose it is effectively free advertising.
